Feels like a must win for Leeds if they want any chance of turning their season around. I think they will...just. 18-14 

[burke]

walk in the training park for Leeds who will breeze to an easy win by 30+ points without having to break sweat.

 

[The storm]

Its a must win game for both teams really. 

Rohan smith must have brought some new energy to the place so i take leeds by 10-16

[Agbrigg]

Looking at the handicaps Leeds only giving Wakey 8. On that Leeds are the bet of the round.

[StandOffHalf]

LEEDS 12-2

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Leeds by at least 12

[Cw25]

Leeds 10-18 Wakefield

[Wakey Til I Die]

Leeds are possibly the only team right now more clueless than we are. Wakey by a drop goal. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leeds by 6.

[daz39]

Is it possible for both teams to lose? that would be great, if Toulouse manage to beat us i feel the loser of this will be in serious trouble, a real 4 pointer.

I presume Wakefields 1 decent player will be injured again as he's already played his half a dozen games for this season so i reckon the fat unicorns will have this one as Sezer still out is definitely a bonus for them!

Fat Unicorns by 16

In a peculiar sense I think we feel the same in reverse. 

Hopefully a repeat of the fixture at your place for me!

Yes, a similar result of an away win would be my choice too 

Not sure what's happening mentally within the squads of both clubs atm, but whichever sorts it out will get a comfortable win. Leeds must be favourites on this count with their new coach, but at least Wakefield will have some centres playing this time.

Yeah it's a conundrum really, for Wakey they really need a response after last week's result at Tolouse, as do Leeds after Salford.

I hope we play in pink again!

There is one saving grace in that this fixture is not on the telly, there is to much of the season left to play to interest the fans of jeopardy.

Another saving grace is that it's not over in Lancashire.  I would be staying at home and having to watch those awful score up dates during the televised game.

When you're watching a TV game and your team are playing away at the same time.  Wigan away for us recently : 0-6, 0-12, 0-18, 0-24  Really takes your mind off the TV game.  I used to turn the volume down and lean a book up against the bottom right hand section of my TV.

Thats the problem with being a Wakey supporter it seems to be continually the case.  But i would sooner put up with that than pay good money into the Leeds club pockets, in order to watch such useless stiffs like Liam Hood etc.  Unfortunately many others are getting the same feeling. I would imagine it is a bit sparse at the Wakey end tonight.

Of course it's Liam's fault , before you got him you were really topping the league ?

Who said it was his fault ? The reason the club is down is because its got too many players who are not up to SL standard, Hood is a prime example and heads the list. Bring in players of his ilk and your direction of travel is downwards.

Pay more money , get better players

That i do accept. However unless you recognise a good player when you see you ,you can get ripped off. 

Further to that you have also got to be more ruthless with the players you have and recognise that they all have a shelf life. Wakey have also retained far too many way past their sell by date.
